The reasons the company gives

The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.

The Company had decided in 2019 to withdraw from the UK business because its business improvement measures had not produced results and Brexit was anticipated. It subsequently proceeded with the reorganization of the business and considered potential transferees, and transferred the shares after reaching an agreement with MSアセットマネジメント株式会社.
